RE: [h-e-w] Does an archive mode for JAR files exist?

[Sprenger, Karel]

Hi,

 

According to files.el it should be possible to open jar files and have them processed just as zip files.  For me it works, but note that archive-mode is a bit funny in  that the file's extension is used to determine which internal functions to use.  Normally, archive-mode uses pkzip and pkunzip under Windows, but you can change that by setting archive-zip-use-pkzip to nil.  You might also need to

 

(setq archive-zip-expunge     '("zip" "-d" "-q")
   archive-zip-extract     '("unzip" "-qq" "-c")
   archive-zip-update      '("zip" "-q")
   archive-zip-update-case '("zip" "-q" "-k"))

 

if you want to use zip/unzip instead (for example because you have cygwin installed).

 

Cheers,

Karel
